16oz pint at the brewery taproom - this is apparently the last of this year's batch, as everything outside is melting like it's going out of style.
This beer appears a mildly hazy, dark amber brown colour, with one skinny-ass finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly tan head, which leaves some decent pockmarked limestone cliff formation lace around the glass as things slowly progress.
It smells of sugary caramel malt, English toffee, cinnamon buns, nutmeg spice, a touch of warming alcohol, and some very subtle earthy, musty, and leafy noble hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy cereal malt, metallic cinnamon, earthy nutmeg, a faint dark orchard fruitiness, and more underwhelming leafy, musky, and dead floral hop bitters.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a solid medium weight, and sort of smooth, as the spices are just strong enough to make a perceptible dent at this particular juncture. It finishes on the sweet side, the malt keeping this right between the lingering ditches.
Overall - this is an agreeable version of the style, if perhaps a few months past its proper 'enjoy during' time, but worth checking out if you still have the time and/or the wherewithal to do so, favourite YEG brewery or not, eh, Mr. Barkeep?
